Lo Que Tengo

Alfredo “El Inca” Linares is one of the best and most beloved musicians in the history of salsa. Fans love his piano playing because of his authentic Cuban feel and ‘swing’ combined with progressive arrangements and uncompromising phrasing. “Lo Que Tengo” is full of rock solid dance floor killers and no filler, recorded in 1980 with some of the cream of the crop of contemporary Venezuelan salsa musicians (members of Mango, Madera, El Trabuco Venezolano, Los Dementes, Los Melódicos, Dimensión Latina, Guaco, and La Salsa Mayor) and launched there on the indie label A.L.G. Records as !Con Todo!, and then a year later on the much larger Velvet Records with a different cover. This a classic Alfredo Linares album, but with the updated studio sound of 1980s Caracas. With five perfectly paced salsas, one funky cha cha chá, a steamy bolero and a dance-friendly Latin jazz number to top it off, there is something for everybody on this record. Thankfully today’s generation can now enjoy this rarity at a fraction of the cost of an original copy. Presented in its original artwork and pressed on 180g vinyl.

TRACKLIST Side A A1. SE FORMO LA FIESTA (Mi negrita) A2. LA PACHANGA DEL AMOR A3. A DONDE VAS A4. SONANDO TAMBO Side B B1. MI NIÑA B2. SUJETATE LA LENGUA B3. LO QUE TENGO B4. FRIENDS
